I am beginning to implement GTD into my life. I am an IT Support person, so a lot of my professional life is reactionary, and not proactive.

I cannot decide how to best setup my GTD. I am printing out a first run Hipster PDA from the DIY Template at http://www.douglasjohnston.net/weblog/archives/2005/06/11/diyp2_hipsterpda/
I am also test driving ServerSideWiki at http://www.serversidewiki.com. As well, I have a company issued Samsung i700 smartphone PDA, that I have purchased Pocket Informant (http://www.pocketinformant.com/) and will use it with my Outlook that I have at work.

I am going to setup and maintain all of them for the next couple of weeks until my family moves into our new house, at which time I can setup my office and hopefully have an implementation that I can work with day-to-day.

What I want to know is: What is out there to carry my Hipster PDA? I am not a fan of the binder clip or hole punch. I was looking for maybe something like a business card holder that closes up. I am not really sure at the moment.

Thanks for the input in advance.

Consider Zipster PDA which is the variation of the Hipster PDA but with the ZIP disk case to hold the cards. You may find the description and templates at http://mekkaniak.nu/zipster/.
There is also a commercial product at http://www.nextactioncards.com/ that uses business card format for similar purposes.

A Moleskine Pocket Acordian, of course.

If you use a smaller set of cards than index sized cards, you can carry the pack around in your pocket without the need for a holder. See e.g., www.nextactioncards.com for a template.

I ended up using an old PDA case for my 3x5 Hipster. I switched over to the digital since I'm behind my PC all day long at work. Good luck with whatever you go with.

I never thought of using my old Palm III case (http://www.geek.com/hwswrev/palmpilot/slipper3/). Thanks for that idea.

I guess I can now retire my Ducster PDA (http://www.atrium-media.com/gtd/gtdductster.htm)

You can consider these couple of options. Those are all pretty smart and elegant ways:

You could try these index card wallets, if you use 3x5 size.

Or if you need something a little more 'fancy':

Or the Levenger Shirt Pocket Briefcase:
